Welcome Back, Lakewood Families!
Dear FSO Families, Welcome to the 2025-26 School Year,
We are so excited to begin the school year in our brand-new building—a space filled with dedicated staff, eager students, and committed administrators who are ready to learn, grow, and thrive together. This beautiful environment provides the perfect backdrop for us to focus on the academic, social, and emotional growth of every child, while continuing to strive toward the vision of a Lakewood Graduate.
As we face the challenges of statewide funding cuts, our commitment remains stronger than ever. By working in true partnership with families, we will continue to do what is best for our students—helping each one move forward on their personal journey to success.
The theme Superintendent Niedzwiecki has chosen for the 2025-26 school year is Lakewood Strong. Lakewood Strong is more than just a theme- it's a mindset and a community value. Lakewood Strong is standing together as a united school community -students, staff , families, and the city of Lakewood -committed to resilience, excellence, and support for one another. It reflects the our determination to rise above challenges, celebrate strengths and empower every student to succeed academically, socially and emotionally. Lakewood Strong means showing pride in our schools, working hard toward our shared vision of a Lakewood Graduate, and never losing sight of the fact that we are stronger together.
Together, we look forward to growing strong in our partnerships with all of you. Please know that my staff and I are always available to answer your questions and address your concerns. We value open communication and look forward to working closely with you and your child. Together, we will make this year one of the best yet.
Thank you for your continued support, and for being part of what makes us Lakewood Strong.
Best Wishes for a wonderful 2025-26 school year.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Terrilynn Bornino-Elwell
Coordinator of Alternative Education
